Buxton mountain rescuers praised for going above and beyond

Four members of Buxton Mountain Rescue have been praised for helping with incidents outside of their normal day job.

One member helped Greater Manchester Police locate a missing person while working on the moors. The missing person was then transferred to hospital by Greater Manchester Police.

Another helped an elderly woman who had collapsed on a flight to the Caribbean.

While another helped with a road traffic collision when passing through the area.

And the fourth incident involved a member helping out at the London Marathon - while he was taking part.

A post on the Buxton Mountain Rescue Team Facebook page read: "Credit must also go to the entire team, as these skills are acquired from the many hours of training all of our team members to go through each week."
